ORS was established to develop waste management facilities using DRYAD technology. DRYAD is a thermophilic biomethanation process that converts municipal solid waste into energy through 3 steps. The process operates at 55°C and produces biogas for electricity generation. ORS has implemented a successful 400 TPD DRYAD project in Sholapur that generates 3MW of electricity and 60-80 TPD of organic compost. ORS is now pursuing larger projects in Bangalore and Pune and exploring opportunities in Sri Lanka and Mauritius to replicate the DRYAD technology.

1. DRYAD™
“Developing MSW processing facilities
using DRYAD ™ technology for
scientific disposal of city waste,
recovering energy & ensuring GHG
reductions”.

2. Introduction
ORS was incorporated in 2008 as a strategic initiative between
a team of technocrats (sector experts) & group of investors
(Intellivate Capital) to promote ‘Green field’ projects in the
field of integrated urban waste management.
Vision: is to become single largest project developer in urban
waste management sector over the next five years by giving
viable solutions to city administrations for mitigating
environmental challenges poised by perpetuating waste
disposal issues.
Current focus is on providing scientific solutions on Solid Waste
Management in conformance with MSW handling rules.

3. Need of the Hour
Estimated generation of MSW in India is around 70 million tons
PA and Its expected to grow at 1.3% per capita PA Its a known
fact that scientific disposal of MSW is a major problem before
city administrations across the country.
Presently, MSW is being dumped or burnt in open designated
areas for landfills, that are in proximity of cities, which is an
alarming situation for environment & public health.
As per the Honorable Supreme Court Order, City
administrations have to compulsorily set up scientific processing
facilities for disposal of Solid Waste at a priority.

4. MSW as a resource
MSW is an abundant source for Methane CH4 a major
contributor of GHG emissions. The gas has a huge
potential to generate electricity.
Potential for energy generation from MSW has been
estimated at 3650 MW from 215,000 TPD in year 2012 &
5200 MW from 304,000 TPD in year 2017. (source MNRE)
MSW is available throughout the year ensuring high PLF of
85% to 90% as compared to PLF of other renewable
sources like wind or solar farms.

5. Available Technologies
There are a range of technologies available for recovering
different materials from MSW. Prominent ones are
Biomethanation, Refused Derived Fuel, Gasification &
Composting.
Biomethanation (Anaerobic Digestion) scores over other
technologies in terms of higher outputs with respect to
electricity generation, better quality of compost & maximum
number of Carbon credits.
Biomethanation (AD) has two varients: Mesophilic (that
operates at 20-300C & Thermophilic (that operates on 50-550C
and is suited for Indian conditions).
DRYAD™ is based on principles of Thermophilic
Biomethanation.

6. DRYAD™ Process
The Process involves 3 Steps:

7. Benefits of DRYAD™
DRYAD™ operates at 550C (temp suitable for operation in Indian cities)
It has a high loading rate that requires less digester volume and in turn requires less
area for operation as compared to landfills.
Odour less operation as it’s a closed process (which results in high public
acceptance)
Bio gas generation is in the range of 117nm3
to 124 nm3
/ton of waste (which results in
higher electricity generation)
Captive consumption of electricity is low as compared to thermal technologies.
Digestion & composting period ranges from 14 to 21 days only which is lesser as
compared to conventional processes.
Quality of compost is better than conventional product as all inerts are being
removed during pre-treatment & pathogens are completely absent as the digestion
takes place at a high tempratures.

8. Sholapur Project
400 TPD Sholapur Project on Mixed MSW is
completed & has achieved stabilization. It is ‘FIRST
OF ITS KIND’ operational plant based on
biomethanation process in the Country.
After stabilization, the plant is generating over 3
MW of electricity and 60-80 TPD of organic
compost.
The electricity is being sold under PPA to
Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company
Limited (MSEDCL) since July 2013.
The compost & carbon credits are being sold in
open market. Our Organic Compost is FCO
certified and is being Co- Marketed by Zuari &
Depeek Fertilizer.
The project was completed in 2 years time frame.

18. What Next?
5-6 MSW Projects of various sizes (200 – 1500) TPD are under
discussion or at evaluation stage with municipalities in India.
Sri Lanka & Mauritius Government has shown interest in our
Technological success and is evaluating proposal for replication
at its Cities in their respective Country.
ORS in its endeavor to provide Proven Technology, it has
developed a Product Range in Solid Waste Management called
“Yasasu Green”.
“Yasasu Green” offers the similar Technology in smaller size for
localized application in Rural Market, Large Townships, Enjoyment
Parks, etc. Sizes range from 1to 25 TPD.
